Pilot programs

Individuals willing to provide help to care for children or the elderly may benefit from these pilot programs. They must have a job offer from a Canadian employer and must comply with certain requirements related to education, experience and language. Once in Canada, caregivers must work for two years.
Their spouse will also be given a work permit and the children study permits.

They will then be permitted to apply for their Permanent Residence provided they comply with the requirements of the program. It is important to note that the Canadian government has taken steps to guarantee that workers in this area are treated fairly and in accordance with the labour laws of the provinces.

 There are currently 11 rural areas that have their immigration programs. To qualify the applicant must have worked in the area with a work permit for one year or have a job offer in the area or have studied for two years in the area.

There is a language requirement depending on their job. In addition, they have to be given a recommendation by the community development organization to be ale to apply.

Debuting in March 2020, the new Agri-food Immigration Pilot will open up over 2,750 job opportunities for skilled farm and livestock workers looking to immigrate to Canada and apply for permanent residence. Given the amount of preparation time needed to apply for immigration it certainly isn’t too early to begin the application process now, beginning by familiarizing yourself with the requirements of this pilot. 

The Agri-Food immigration pilot program is industry-specific, aimed at attracting non-seasonal farm and livestock workers who have the intention of settling and remaining in Canada year-round, particularly in the meat processing, animal raising, green housing, and mushroom production sectors. Eligibility for the pilot depends on having a valid job offer in one of the specialized occupations as well as your work experience.
